Hi! Happy long-time plex user here.
I’m trying to transfer my plex installation from running on ubuntu to docker, but I am having trouble getting it to work. (I’m new to docker).
The command to run the docker container:
```auto
sudo docker run \
-d \
--name plex \
--network=host \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=100 \
-e TZ="US" \
-e VERSION=docker \
-e PLEX_CLAIM="claim-e2Uvctv6yKTcMZSe8Yhs" \
-h BlendedBronze2 \
-v /mnt/FA4606344605F265/plexConfig:/config \
-v /mnt/FA4606344605F265/plexTranscode:/transcode \
-v /mnt/FA4606344605F265/plexMedia:/data \
--restart unless-stopped \
plexinc/pms-docker
```
Running
```auto
sudo docker logs -f plex
```
outputs this repeatedly.
```auto
Starting Plex Media Server.
Error: Unable to set up server: listen: Address in use (N5boost10wrapexceptINS_6system12system_errorEEE)
Stopping Plex Media Server.
```
Other (possibly) relevant info:
- Plex was installed on ubuntu from the application store. I have since uninstalled it using apt-get
- I update the claim code each time via www.plex.tv/claim/
- My media is stored on a separate 4TB hard drive from the ubuntu installation
- I am connecting/controlling my server over SSH/PuTTY
What is the problem, and how can I fix it?

You can only run 1 server instance on the host with `network=host` because both are going to use the same port `32400`.

So, could the non-docker install still be running, even though I uninstalled it(?)
How could I check for this? I’m still relatively new to Linux.

Running some commands of google, it looks likes there’s still plex running on ubuntu. Could these be the issue?

Yes, those would block it.
You need to stop that snap and the apparently hung s6-supervise (docker)
Stop the snap
Hard kill the processes

It’s working now! Thanks for your help.
This solved the issue:
```auto
snap list
sudo snap remove plexmediaserver
ps -ax | grep plex
sudo kill -9 [process ids]
```
then
```auto
sudo docker run ...
```
I am getting this in the log now, is this an issue/concern? What does this mean?
```auto
...
Starting Plex Media Server.
Critical: libusb_init failed
```

ignore lib\_usb unless you have USB tuners you need to access.

@ChuckPa I do have a tuner, and im getting the same issue. Do you have any suggestions? I haven’t been able to use my tuner for a few months now and I believe this is the issue.

Pass the device to the container when setting up.
eg: --device=/dev/dvb \
